Ridgewood Road was certainly the place to be this past Sunday. Whether you were there for the music, atmosphere, weather or all of the above, Spring Fest, sponsored by Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Delta Theta, and Alpha Omicron Pi, was a perfect prelude to an ideal summer setting. Whether murmurings that this lineup was better than Slope Day’s, overheard both before and after this benefit concert, are true or not is a matter of opinion of course, but one thing’s for sure: these bands did not disappoint, and with a great turnout and a relaxed, intimate crowd, it certainly did have a (sober) mini-Slope Day feel.

The idea of live music in a cinema has always seemed a little intriguing, and a little more genuine. Before amplification, and long before professionally-recorded film scores, theater and early film relied on musicians to provide the soundtrack. This could be in the form of the honky-tonk piano player sitting to the side of the screen or an 80-piece orchestra exerting its massive sound to the mood and character development on stage.
